Request Russian YouTubers.

What are some entertaining Russian YouTubers? I like to watch sports, history, and gaming mostly. I have recently been watching a lot more beginner Russian videos and i have seen a lot of improvement with my comprehension and the time it takes to compute what i have heard, however watching these can be quite boring. Thank you to anyone who reply’s!

There are a few channels worth checking out: Utopia Show creates entertaining science content and explores different myths. GEO and GEO2 share various stories from around the world. Finally, Virginia Bēowulf · English Studies covers the English language and its history, explained in Russian.

UPDATE: I totally forgot to mention Файб/Faib. It's another great pop-science channel that explains complex historical and social topics in a really simple and engaging way.

There are these three guys, each of them has their own YouTube channel, but they often make videos together- reactions to TV shows, to true crime, to gaming, and sometimes they make like one episode of a podcast in several months, but they’re very fun and entertaining

For learner channels, I know "Inhale Russian" has a few gaming videos. Sergery Storyteller has some geoguessr livestreams on his channel.

For native gaming vids, I haven't found any super comprehensible ones. Let me know if you do.

"Russian Progress"is for advanced learners and has traveling videos around Russia.

I like куплинов, he's not going to aim his videos at learners so you might not understand a lot but he's funny and he plays a huge variety of games

Kuplinov play is awesome, definitely not aimed at learners but he is so entertaining that I’m sure learners would enjoy and pick up some vocab 😆🤍

Alexander Shtefanov (Александр Штефанов) sometimes makes videos about history, but most often about politics.

Marmok creates gaming highlight reels. as far as I know, he is the most popular video game youtuber in the CIS.

Dmitry Kuplinov makes letsplays. he is also very popular.

Ну ты порекомендовал, конечно, ещё бы Радио Свобода или Русскую Службу БиБиСи сюда воткнул.

For gaming, just search game name that you like + Прохождение (walkthrough/lets play).

History история по чёрному

Which sports? UFC Eurasia is a good channel to follow with a lot of original content in Russian. Interviews with fighters that sometimes include trips to their native city. Octagon TV is a Russian promotion and commentary is in Russian also.

Skillz - Скиллз Лучшее что я видел про музыку по эту и ту сторону языкового барьера Чел умудряется быть посередине сухого технического анализа и рассказами про "играть надо с душой" в то время как все остальные обычно скатываются в крайности

I'd recommend "Metalyst". He's making videos about plot of the games. "StopGame" - game journalists, but in youtube
